             Summary: Provide a MiniSolrCloudCluster to enable easier testing
                 Key: SOLR-5865
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5865
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SolrCloud
    Affects Versions: 4.7, 5.0
            Reporter: Gregory Chanan


Today, the SolrCloud tests are based on the LuceneTestCase class hierarchy, 
which has a couple of issues around support for downstream projects:

- It's difficult to test SolrCloud support in a downstream project that may 
have its own test framework.  For example, some projects have support for 
different storage backends (e.g. Solr/ElasticSearch/HBase) and want tests 
against each of the different backends.  This is difficult to do cleanly, 
because the Solr tests require derivation from LuceneTestCase, while the other 
don't
- The LuceneTestCase class hierarchy is really designed for internal solr tests 
(e.g. it randomizes a lot of parameters to get test coverage, but a downstream 
project probably doesn't care about that).  It's also quite complicated and 
dense, much more so than a downstream project would want.

Given these reasons, it would be nice to provide a simple 
"MiniSolrCloudCluster", similar to how HDFS provides a MiniHdfsCluster or HBase 
provides a MiniHBaseCluster.
